Tuuli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I know that you're not good for me
All my friends say that you're bad news
They think you should stay away from me
I'm just crazy and you're no good

Well I don't care what they say
I don't care how you spend your days
I don't care....
Cuz tonight I'll be with you

La, La, La, La, La, La, La
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La,
La, La, La, La, La, La, La,
La, La, La, La, La, La

So you took me to the cinema
And you took me to the drag race
Yeah, you crashed that night in '54
And our love went up in red flames

You're as bright as a star
I don't care that you broke my heart
I don't care.....
Cuz that night I was with you

La, La's

You're as bright as a star
I don't care that you broke my heart




I don't care.....
Cuz that night I was with you

Overall Meaning

In Tuuli's song "Cinema", the lyrics depict a seemingly troubled and tumultuous relationship between the singer and her partner, with her friends cautioning her about him. The singer is aware that her friends view him negatively, but she is unable to let go of him as she is deeply infatuated with him, despite knowing that he may not be good for her. She sings, "Well I know that you're not good for me / All my friends say that you're bad news / They think you should stay away from me / I'm just crazy and you're no good."


Despite her friends' warnings, the singer remains undeterred and decides to spend time with her partner instead of listening to their advice. She does not care how her partner spends his days and insists that she will be with him tonight. The repetitive "La, La's" throughout the song indicate a sense of carefree and carelessness, like the singer only wants to live in the moment and not worry about the consequences of her actions.


The song takes a dark turn as the singer mentions a particular night at the cinema and the drag race, which resulted in a fatal car crash. She acknowledges that their relationship ended in tragedy as "our love went up in red flames". Despite the devastating consequences of their relationship, the singer still holds onto the memories of that night and the love she had for her partner. She sings, "You're as bright as a star / I don't care that you broke my heart / I don't care... / Cuz that night I was with you". Overall, the song depicts a toxic and doomed relationship that the singer cannot seem to let go of, despite its destructive consequences.


Line by Line Meaning

Well I know that you're not good for me
I am aware that being with you is detrimental to me


All my friends say that you're bad news
My friends have warned me about the kind of person you are


They think you should stay away from me
They believe it would be best if I kept my distance from you


I'm just crazy and you're no good
I acknowledge that I might be making a bad decision by choosing to be with you, but I cannot help how I feel


Well I don't care what they say
I have made up my mind and their opinions do not matter to me

I am committed to being with you, regardless of any outside opinions or circumstances


Cuz tonight I'll be with you
I eagerly anticipate being together with you tonight


La, La, La, La, La, La, La
(Chorus - Repeating melody with no specific narrative purpose)


So you took me to the cinema
You took me on a date to see a movie


And you took me to the drag race
You also took me to see a car race


Yeah, you crashed that night in '54
In 1954, you had a car accident that night


And our love went up in red flames
As a result, our love burned out and, to some extent, was damaged beyond repair


You're as bright as a star
You are still as captivating and alluring as a shining star


I don't care that you broke my heart
Despite you causing me intense emotional pain, I am still drawn to you


Cuz that night I was with you
At that specific moment in time which continues to be memorable to me, I was with you
